UFC 94 Fight Card: St Pierre vs Penn 2

The UFC heads back to its unofficial home, Las Vegas, Nevada after a lackluster card in Ireland. Fortunately for fight fans UFC 94 makes up for the snooze fest that was UFC 93. Its bound to be one of the most entertaining fight cards yet.

We’ve been treated to some of the best cards in MMA history in recent months and things only get better this week. There is no doubt in my mind that UFC 94: St Pierre vs. Penn is the UFC’s biggest and best main event to date. It will go down as one of the most important MMA cards in history. Never before have we had two UFC champions putting it all on the line. On top of that we have the showdown between two rising stars Lyoto Machida and Thiago Silva. This much anticipated match-up could have headlined a card on its own. Also featured on the card is the long awaited return of UFC veterans Karo Parisyan and Stephan Bonner. Rounding out the main card is the exiting match up between The Ultimate Fighter 5 winner Nate Diaz and the always entertaining Clay Guida. The under card looks surprisingly entertaining too.

When it comes to UFC main events it really doesn’t get much bigger than this. St Pierre vs Penn 2 will go down in history as one of those must watch fights that will be analyzed for years to come like Sakuraba vs. Royce Gracie, Fedor vs. Cro Cop or Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson vs. Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell. If you can only catch one UFC event this year, make this the one.
